[Verse 1]
DOh captain tell me true
GDoes my sailor sail with Dyou
GNo, he does not sDail with me
He Asleeps on the bottom of the Dsea
[Chorus]
DWhat did the deep sea say
Tell me, Gwhat did the deep sea Dsay
It Gmoaned and groaned
And it Dsplashed and it foamed
And it Arolled on its weary Dway
[Verse 2]
Well, he Dpromised he'd write to me
But his Gpromise he never kept Dtrue
GNever a word from my Dsailor have I heard
Since he Asailed on that ocean Dblue
[Chorus]
DWhat did the deep sea say
GWhat did the deep sea Dsay
It Gmoaned and groaned
And it Dsplashed and it foamed
And it Arolled on its weary Dway
[Verse 3]
A Dbeautiful rose today
I Gplaced on the crest of the Dwaves
GSaid "Take it please
And Dlet the petals fall
AAbove his watery Dgrave.
[Chorus]
DWhat did the deep sea say
Tell me, Gwhat did the deep sea Dsay
It Gmoaned and groaned
And it Dsplashed and it foamed
And it Arolled on its weary Dway
[Instrumental]

It Gmoaned and groaned
And it Dsplashed and it foamed
And it Arolled on its weary Dway
[Chorus]
DWhat did the deep sea say
Tell me, Gwhat did the deep sea Dsay
It Gmoaned and groaned
And it Dsplashed and it foamed
And it Arolled on its weary Dway
